Society can and does execute its own mandates, and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right, or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle, it practices a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political oppression, since, though not usually upheld by such extreme penalties, it leaves fewer means of escape, penetrating much more deeply into the details of life, and enslaving the soul itself.
The cosmos is also within us, we're made of star-stuff. We are a way for the cosmos, to know itself.
宇宙也在我们体内,我们都是星尘构成的。我们是宇宙了解其自身的途径。
Man muss die Dinge so nehmen, wie sie kommen, aber man sollte dafür sorgen, dass sie so kommen, wie man sie nehmen möchte.
成功很棒,但谦逊的成功更可贵。
